Dear
Except for all the bad news (Wilfred my chauffeur, tries to keep me from all the newspapers and radios but you can’t help but hear). It’s great here. Good food, tropical climate, gorgeous beaches, clean water, nice people. The bad publicity has kept all the tourists away. As a matter of fact I’m the only guest of the hotel I’m in now. The lights keep going off due to the lightening storm. Frightening and beautiful at the same time. Next stop, the Maldives, then Bombay before roughing it in Kenya. Hope to see you at Beth’s wedding.
